Undergraduate Student Council

Each undergraduate student council member has the unique opportunity to make a lasting impression on the university student body. Council members are good team players with the ability to commit a significant amount of time and effort to participating in SGA.

Once elected, council members receive a €400 stipend and a € 500 orientation payment each semester. Additionally, council members receive a monthly phone stipend as well as access to the SGA office, including a workstation, printing rights, and a university phone line.
